I’m stuck around 9,000-9,500 KPH with accuracy slipping after an hour, and work won’t fund training - what cheap/free drills or scrappy routines actually moved the needle for you (YouTube channels, printable 10‑key sheets, timed Google Sheets, whatever)? If you’ve got a simple daily plan (20-30 min) that improved both speed and error rate, I’d love the details.
Cheap routine that moved me from about 9.3k to about 11k KPH: 5 min slow form on home (4‑5‑6, thumb on 0, pinky on Enter), 3×5‑min intervals on 10fastfingers’ Numbers test holding 96%+ accuracy, then 5 min keying a column of 300 random amounts in a Sheet (fill down =RANDBETWEEN(100,99999)/100) while saying the digits softly to prevent transpositions. If you want more structure, TypingClub’s free Number Pad course is decent - want me to share the Sheet template I use?
Biggest unlock for me was doing numbers on Monkeytype with backspace disabled and killing any run that fell under 96% — it forced clean strokes and I climbed from about 9.5k to about 11.1k in about a month; want the exact settings, @FormEli?
Rhythm training plus chunking got me off the 9.5k plateau… Building on @dashgrove’s “clean strokes” idea, use a metronome at 72–80 BPM and key 3–4 digit chunks, only hitting Enter on the click — like cruise control for your fingers; if you miss the beat, stop, shake out, and restart. My 20‑min block is 5 slow form, 10 at 72–84 BPM, 5 accuracy‑only with eyes up, using https://www.metronomeonline.com and a Google Sheet that feeds random 8–12 digit chunks.
